ISLAMABAD, Feb 28 (APP):Pakistan Saturday regretted the breakdown of talks and outbreak of hostilities in the Middle East.
In a statement, the Spokesperson of Ministry of Foreign Affairs said, “Pakistan condemns the unwarranted attacks against the Islamic Republic of Iran. These attacks come at a time when diplomatic efforts were underway to reach a peaceful and negotiated solution. Such a course of action will undermine the peace and stability of the entire region, with far-reaching consequences.”
“Pakistan also strongly condemns the attacks by Iran against the brotherly countries of Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Jordan, Kuwait, Qatar and the UAE, and stands in solidarity with all these brotherly countries and underscores the need to exercise maximum restraint,” he added.
He said, “The unprovoked attacks constitute blatant violations of the sovereignty of the brotherly Gulf states. Pakistan also condemns the unfortunate death of a Pakistani national in the UAE during this dastardly attack. We urge all sides to refrain from any further actions that may undermine the security and territorial integrity of other regional countries.”
He said, “Pakistan urges the need for upholding the international law and principles of the UN Charter. Pakistan emphasises to all sides to resume diplomacy and find a peaceful and negotiated solution to the crisis.”
